Yes Donald, thats quite right. Now the white paint comes with a clear coat topping (something like what my brother's W123 has). Even then, you could tell it needed a wax much more than a metallic finish.

Btw - the new Whites coming out now are really really WHITE. And I hear they're quite easy to keep without much fuss.
